Within the next 6 months or so we are all going to find out about a lot 
more Billy because he participated in MANY recordings that were 
synchronized with silent movies in the late 20s.  These are detailed in 
the special Victor ledger, known as the 'Movie Book' that "disappeared" 
50 years ago during the move of the files from Camden to 6th Ave NYC.  
The contents were recently photographed by the Victor Project in the 
home of the collector who I have suspected for over 40 years as having it.

You will also find out about some recordings by LEE WILEY in 1928.
